Regents issue policy: no nude art
by Paul Davis
On Sept. 16, the Board of
Regents adopted guidelines
for the Eugene Johnson Gallery or Art, which prohibits
the display of nude art in the
gallery.
According to Dean Dwight
Jessup, the decision was based
on "whal is appropriate to
exhibit in a public art gallery
al Bethel as an evangelical
Christian college." The issue
centers around what is displayed in the gallery and not
what is created by the students. "The main issue," said
Jessup, "is the fact lhat the
gallery is public and represents Bethel in that respect."
The final decision was made
by the Board of Regents in
accordance with the academic
policies committee, which is a
part of the larger board. The
committee, consisling of four
board members, two faculty
and two student representatives set up the guidelines in
collaboration with the dean's
office. Also involved in the
process was Tom Toperzer,
art department chairman and
gallery director.
"We collaborated on a variety of things," said Jessup,
"but in the final evaluation,
the following values were seen
to be at stake;" 1) academic
freedom, 2) institutional identity, (the gallery represents
Bethel) 3) student development goals, 4) display of professional artistic standards,
5) Biblical interpretation and
theological understanding,
6) education theories and
practices, 7) creative and/or
Registration evader
arraigned in court
by Amy Goss
and Deb Nelson
Bethel sophomore Steve
Schlossberg, who has been
indicted on charges of failing to register for the draft,
was arraigned in Federal
District Court on Tuesday,
Oct. 4.
Schlossberg pleaded not
guilty to the charge read by
U.S. Magistrate J. Earl
Cudd. A group of 30 friends,
family members and reporters was present along Steve Schlossberg
with his lawyer, Brian Peterson at the Federal District
Courthouse, 4th St. and Marquette Ave. in Minneapolis.
'"I feel all right," he said after the 20-minute session. "I
guess I may be naive about the consequences, but I feel that
whether it's prison or whatever—I can handle it with my
faith."
Schlossberg faces up to five years in prison and up to
$10,000 fine. He is the first Minnesotan to be indicted for
refusing to comply with a 1980 presidential order requiring
all 19- and 20-year-old men to register with the Selective
Service System.
Preliminary bail was set for $1,000, but upon recommendation of a probation officer, Schlossberg was released
on his own recognizance. A pre-trial proceeding was set for
Oct. 14 with U.S. District Judge Robert G. Renner, a
Reagan-appointee.
Schlossberg was processed by a U.S. Marshall. "They
took my fingerprints, took a mug shot and asked me about
my geographic habits, so they could find me in case I
skipped out," he said.

Schlossberg, see page 3
political expression, 8] standards of morality and decency, 9) aesthetic judgement and
10) quest for unity and growth
in the Christian community.
"We saw that different people weighed these values differently, therefore we needed
a policy by which we could
balance these diverse values,"
he said.
"We understand that it is,
by no means, an absolutely
perfect document," said Jessup. "We're not real sure how
people will react to the decision, but it was a decision
that had to be made.
"It's difficult to create a
consensus," said Jessup. "It's
a sensitive issue and deserves
the full attention we can give
it in order to come up wilh
something that will, in some
way, satisfy everyone."
